Deskripsi

C. jejuni and C. coli isolated on three layer farms during the production cycle were typed by PCR-RFLP flagellin gene profiling. Three typical restriction patterns were detected for C. coli (H, O, R), 5 for C. jejuni (I, P, Q, T, S) and 8 were common for both. The D profile was present in all three flocks. C fla-type was detected on farms A and B. The results of the study suggest that some genotypes tend to prevail and persist more than others on farms and in certain geographic areas.
